The Alien franchise is my favorite film franchise of all-time. Boomer shooters are my favorite videogames of all-time. Imagine my excitement when I found out there was an Alien boomer shooter!
"Alien Trilogy" is one of the better Alien games out there, and generally somewhat enjoyable, but does fall flat in quite a few places. There are some really cool aspects of the game, including unique features I haven't seen from any other fps games at the time:
-Slower and more horror-like gameplay, making it feel quite different than other similar games like Doom or Duke Nukem
-Timed levels to re-arm your arsenal
-Really useful motion detector (from the films)
The game also looks great and captures the atmosphere of Alien very well for the time.
That being said, there are a lot of issues I had while playing. Saves only being available at the end of levels, often clunky movement, game speed being tied to FPS, incredibly underwhelming boss fights, etc. Would be really cool to see a remaster or port that fixes these, but I wasn't able to find one.
